Getting Started

Getting started with OrbitalPlay is quick and easy. Follow these steps to set up your local "Quantum Playground".

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8+
• A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, or Safari)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/elkins/orbital-play.git
   cd orbital-play
   

2. Install dependencies: We recommend using a virtual environment.

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

Running the App

Once the dependencies are installed, you can launch the Streamlit application:

streamlit run app.py

The application will automatically open in your default browser at http://localhost:8501.

Troubleshooting

• ModuleNotFoundError: Ensure you have activated your virtual environment and installed the dependencies.
• PySCF Installation: PySCF currently has limited support on Windows. We recommend using WSL2 or a Linux/macOS environment for the best experience. nce.
